The only thing I see wrong with it is the pipe is not strapped or supported and it all crooked. One could argue about the sharkbites but they are code approved.

I would choose different materials and my work would be neat and straight. But I still cant find anything wrong with it other than its not strapped properly and its crooked. I could see a licensed plumber doing that sure...plenty of licensed hacks out there. My work??? No it wouldn't look like that if I had done the work...I think you know that Ron. I'm picky about my finished work in most cases.

There is only one word that tells me what is wrong with that job, and that word is workmanship, and it is not there, so there for it is all wrong to me.

An inspector can fail a plumbing inspection over workmanship.
